DETAILS
Buckle up for a race against the clock! The UpDog Time Warp event at DOG-O-RAMAa is a high-speed, precision-driven game where time is literally money (or in this case, points).
Unlike other events where teams use up every second of the clock to rack up catches, Time Warp is all about completing a specific mission as fast as humanly possible to save leftover time.
How Time Warp Works:
- The 60-Second Countdown: Teams start with a 60-second clock, but the goal is to finish the game long before that buzzer sounds.
- The 3-Catch Mission: The handler and dog must successfully complete exactly one catch (or ground roller) in three distinct zones on the field:
- Zone 1: The short range (between the 10- and 20-yard lines).
- Zone 2: The long range (between the 30- and 40-yard lines).
- The "Sweet Spot": A specific 10x10-yard square right in the center of the field.
- The Time-Stopping Freeze: The moment the team secures a catch in all three zones, they must sprint! To officially stop the clock, the handler, the dog, and the last disc caught must all cross back behind the starting line.
- Time Equals Points: Every single whole second left on the clock when they cross the line is converted directly into bonus points and added to their score. Speed is everything!
The Ultimate Gambler's Choice: The "Double Shot"
This is where the game gets incredibly dramatic for spectators. Once a team completes their three mandatory catches, they face a split-second decision: Do they run across the finish line to secure their time points, or do they gamble?
If they choose to stay out on the field, they can attempt the Sweet Spot Double Shot —a second, tougher catch in the central Sweet Spot. If they nail it and then run back to stop the clock before time runs out, they hit the jackpot with a massive 25-point bonus. If they miss or run out of time, they walk away with a "Did Not Finish" (DNF).
Why It's a Blast to Watch:
Time Warp is pure adrenaline. You will see dogs executing lightning-fast directional shifts, handlers making rapid-fire throws, and the crowd collectively holding their breath as a team decides whether to take the safe exit or risk it all for the Double Shot!
